no ‘poo update: i get it now!

i blogged recently about switching from shampoo to baking soda and apple cider vinegar.  you can go read that post if you want to know my initial impressions of the process, but i thought i’d write an update to say… i get it now.  at this point, i can go 3-4 days with washing only with water (and not even that every day) and my hair doesn’t get greasy.  that is crazy-pants.  i also switched to a less intense mixture of the baking soda (about 1/4 cup mixed with a whole bike bottle full of water) and i like that better.  i don’t crave the sudsy feeling of shampoo anymore and i even made it through a visit to my hairdresser product-free.  i think i’ll continue this experiment a bit longer.  i’m enjoying it now!
